3 week old formula fed baby - does this count as a 'hungry baby' (18 Posts). DS2 is 3.5 weeks and for the past 2 days has gone from taking 3oz every 3 hours to 5 oz every 1.5/2hours. She cried an awful lot and seemed terribly cross, like she was in a feeding frenzy TBH. She also became very colicky (and yet extra sucky) in the evenings. Re:Feeding Frenzy 3 by Psycho999 on Apr 25, 10 6:32 PM Me too, totally loved it, so did my kids.desp for FF3 o come out, its a really good chill out game with excellent replay value.
The 2011 Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon from Sonoma County are an exceptional value at $3.99 this week under the Feeding Frenzy label. Not to be confused with the addictive Feeding Frenzy game by Gamehouse . Although, I could develop a mild obsession for these wines with the attractive colorful label marketed towards the ‘The Foodie’ in all of us. Being called a Foodie makes me feel young & hip like a single gal living in the big city.
This week, my husband and a couple of friends joined me on the front porch to ‘help’ me review the Feeding Frenzy wines. Of course when people join me, we talk about all kinds of things, enjoy each others company and have some laughs. But, we still managed to take some notes on wine tasting.
First the Cabernet Sauvignon:
The label says “this wine possesses aromas of dried cherry and fresh ground nutmeg. The flavors are indicative of dark currants, black fruits and blueberries, with a subtle, round body and long finish. The multiple layers of dried herbs and cranberries carry throughout with a seductive hint of dark chocolate. A well-balanced wine to serve with food. Might we suggest pairings such as a gourmet Pizza with Pesto, Eggplant Lasagna, BBQ Baby Back Ribs, or Grilled Tri-Tip.”
I Thought it smelled of red fruit like dark red cherry, but definitely no nutmeg. It tasted pretty sweet like blueberries and was light and smooth. I tried this with Johnsonville Salami Deli Bites ($1.99) and Tilamook Smoked Black Pepper Sharp Cheddar Cheese($1.99). The FF Cab is very food Friendly. However, I don’t know about the pairings that they suggest on the label. Pizza with pesto & Eggplant lasagna? mmmm, no. Ribs & steaks, for sure. Regular lasagna (any Italian food really) or a nice grilled pork chop would pair nicely with this Cab.
Steve tasted the wine before he read the label and thought for sure it would include the word ‘buttery’. nope. Thanks for playing Steve. Larry & Terry both preferred the Chardonnay, but took a sip of the Cab for all you faithful readers. They we’re surprised that it was a sweeter Cabernet and it got a nod of approval.
And, the Chardonnay:
The label says “this wine possesses ripe summer fruit aromas of peaches and mangoes. The splendid flavors are indicative of crisp lemon-lime, which linger fresh and long on the palate. Containing many complex layers of tropical fruits with hints of rich, creamy vanilla and decadent ripe melon. A well-balanced wine to serve with food. Might we suggest pairings such as a classic Caesar Salad, Dill Poached Salmon, Grilled Shrimp Scampi, or Chicken Fajitas.”
I actually tried this wine when we got it in earlier this year (I’m a sucker for a great label). I knew I liked it. It smelled of peaches, but I’m not sure of mango. I definitely tasted the citrus fruits and melon. I was pairing it with a Tuscan Melon (99 cents) and Danish Havarti with dill ($2.50). Very refreshing summer wine. I liked it with Dill Havarti but I don’t know about dill poached Salmon (or anything poached). I like the rest of the food pairing suggestions on the label, I just prefer to grill my Salmon 🙂
I don’t think Steve gave me his opinion on this Chardonnay. I know Terry & Larry enjoyed it, but after Larry’s review I’m pretty sure we all agreed with him and just left it at that. His review was that this is the first bottle of wine that tastes exactly the way the label says it does. LOL! Thanks Larry 😉
I managed to read some on-line reviews, but there really is very little on the internet about these wines. I found the Chardonnay was scored 85 points and the Cabernet 87. Both pretty solid according the all-knowing wine reviewers. Personally, I don’t even know what those scores mean or how they arrive at a numbered score. I’m sure there’s some detailed science behind it though. I checked out the web-site on the back of the label, even there I could not locate the Feeding Frenzy. They offer some other wines I recognized though. Black Oak, 707 Estate Wines and Zombie Zin among others. Check it out here www.chateaudiana.com . Meanwhile, I’ll see if we can get some of that Zombie Zin in the store before October.
Feeding Frenzy is a weekly round-up of web links we find to be worth your time. These posts will act as the foundation of mental meandering across all domains!

'I try very hard to not live life in the rear view mirror. I look at that as something nice, but what's much more interesting to me is what I'm working on now.' - Nolan Bushnell
For Erich, this podcast is a treat. Listening to a creator that has helped shape a genre that captured his attention growing up is fascinating. As an inventor and innovator Nolan is exceptionally insightful. He provides us with a lens that shows new discoveries waiting just around the corner. Anyone who is a would-be technologist or entrepreneur would find this podcast incredibly valuable.
'Reestablishing wolves in western Colorado could connect the entire North American wolf population from Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan through Canada and Alaska, down the Rocky Mountains into Mexico. It would be difficult to overestimate the biological and conservation value of this achievement. '
– Dr. L. D. Mech, Biologist
Last week on The Tim Ferriss Show, Tim made a surprise announcement mid-episode after asking his guest Mike Philips what is needed to make an impact for the Rocky Mountain Wolf Action Fund . The number is $600,000. In response, Tim said that if his audience can raise $100,000 in a week from the podcast going live, then he would match that amount. This is a powerful move in reestablishing a wolf population in western Colorado impacting generations to come. Think of it as taming the west in reverse: sometimes we need to keep the wild the way it is.
This documentary is eye-opening as it shows how the world evolved with our modern lifestyles. It follows the story of Edward Bernays. Bernays brought the work of his uncle Sigmund Freud to the United States to influence the business world. Cited with marketing towards specific audiences such as utilizing 'Freedom Torches' to sell cigarettes to women who wanted to show their independence.
In Praise of Slowness
In a world obsessed with speed and getting things done, taking a moment to slow down seems impossible. If the idea of slowing down seems complicated, then making an effort to bring the foot off the pedal may be helpful. For us, taking the time to slow down and not optimizing every aspect of our lives has had a massive impact on the quality of life.
This week is a wrap and plenty to chew over this week! Feel free to let us know any thoughts and suggestions that may contribute to these posts. It may pop-up on Feeding Frenzy or develop into a full-fledged post its own.
